Sen. Rounds LA jumps to GSK

Caught Our Eye Posted by Andy Gottlieb on Monday, April 22, 2024

A Republican staffer has moved to Big Pharma after six years on Capitol Hill.

Liam McDonald is now a director of federal government affairs at pharmaceutical conglomerate GSK plc. He most recently served as a legislative assistant for Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) with a legislative portfolio including health policy. McDonald previously worked for Reps. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and Phil Roe (R-Tenn.).

Higher House salaries came with smaller holiday bonuses last year

Caught Our Eye Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Monday, April 15, 2024

Many House staffers have long counted on holiday bonuses to make up a substantial proportion of their annual income. But, amid last year's record salary levels, the chamber shifted its emphasis away from end-of-year bonuses in favor of pay distributed more evenly throughout the year, a LegiStorm analysis indicates.

House staffers working for member offices received 11.9% more money in the fourth quarter than in previous quarters ― an average end-of-year bonus of about $2,500 per staffer. In 2021 and 2019, staffers received fourth-quarter pay bumps of 24.0% ($4,000) and 19.3% ($3,000), respectively. End-of-year bonuses are typically lower in non-election years.

I have found LegiStorm essential for my job and quite surprising in its capabilities. For an arts presentation I needed to give on Capitol Hill, I was able to automatically download key arts staffers associated with all members of the Congressional Arts Caucus. I also able to find staff with "art" in their education backgrounds, so they got invited too. Definitely fun, and useful.

We have found LegiStorm to be the ultimate tool in communicating with congressional offices, either individually or with a group. We have been able to reach out with messages to all chiefs of staff and legislative directors, or staff dedicated to specific areas. We believe that this ability was instrumental in passing two key pieces of legislation which were imperative to our members.
